The thing is, Google is winning. Almost every browser is just a Chrome skin now. Firefox continues its slow spiral into irrelevance.

Funnily enough Firefox recently did the same thing. Integrated AI into the browser, and used AI to find bugs in the code. Shame they couldn't use AI to refactor the code into something that might actually gain some traction. There's a reason why every other browser is a Chrome skin.

If they did act on it, it would be a legal problem as soon as someone on the autism spectrum or otherwise non-neurotypical comes along. In fact I've been accused of being AI more than once, due to certain phrases that apparently AI is fond of. But that's just a mistake, once it happens to someone with a recognized medical condition it becomes discrimination.

I've work in technical industries, and they can't handle encryption. You try to send someone an encrypted file with clear instructions to decrypt it, and they will fail and demand you send it over unencrypted instead. I can only imagine that it's even worse in creative industries.

Companies instead rely on contracts obliging the receiver to protect their property. When they don't, a lawsuit like this is the result. And it may even work out better for them, because a movie that might have been a flop instead nets them whatever they can convince a court to award.

Not in Europe. It's a bit complicated because there may be things like news articles that are public, but generally speaking there isn't some website or database where anyone can go look up what criminal convictions someone else has.

There is also a time limit on many of them, after which they don't have to be reported to your employer or insurance company, for example.

Why isn't there a second independent AI that examines the main AI's output, and decides if it should be censored or not. If it thinks so, the answer is not delivered.

Since the second one is only looking at the first AI's output it seems like it would be difficult or impossible to fool it, especially if it's window is very short (like only the current message).

I assume there is some reason this does not work. Any explanations?

Yeah, but that wasn't a passenger flight. They were moving the aircraft, and they removed all the stuff that would be needed to support passengers, as well as not having any passengers either. This is a commercial passenger flight, fully loaded with 24 hours worth of provisions, and enough passengers to make it profitable.

It's a bit like how France holds the world record for the fastest conventional wheeled train at 574.8 km/h, but that was a special run with no passenger cars and outside of normal operations. The record for carrying passengers is held by China's CR400 Fuxing Hao, which regularly runs at 350 km/h. Japanese trains can match that, but don't due to noise concerns.

When Musk announced his Optimus robot (trademark lawsuit presumably pending), he had a guy in spandex walk mechanically on stage, and then start dancing.

Little did we know, that was apparently his entire plan. The current version is remotely operated by a guy with a VR headset.

Elon Musk invented employment, only you don't even have to look at the poor pleb, only a sleek, faceless robot. He literally dehumanized work.

As usual the Chinese robots seem to be capable of things that American ones can't do, so claiming that it's all stolen IP doesn't really work, unless you think they have a time machine and are stealing stuff you guys haven't invented yet.

Anyway, banning them won't help you. You will just fall further behind, as usual, and then complain that they are "cheating" and that's why they can out-perform US manufacturing. In reality, they put in the work to develop robotics, clean energy, long and deep supply chains. They are able to do long term strategic economic planning, because their government doesn't do a 180 on key policies every 4 years.

Europe isn't doing all that much better. We need to step up, not whine about it.

Submission + - Hamburg is replacing a bridge in one huge piece (tagesschau.de) 2

Qbertino writes: The northern German City of Hamburg is currently in the process of replacing one of it's bridges in one single gigantic piece. The new replacement weighs 3700 metric tons and is carefully being moved into place in the next few days over a stretch of 500 meters, requiring extreme patience and precision maneuvering. Some places leave only 40 cm of room to neighbouring buildings. The bridge is expected to be put in it's place by the end of next weekend.
